Forgot about variance?

[Stasis01]

You gona shut this druggy up or what Destin.

(That was supposed to be funny but might come off like a dick thing to say, Nihi used to insult Agatha all day and his bro for being druggy losers)

Eq reality is harsher than drugs. Just like its hard to see a loved one hooked on some hardcore drug. It must be just as hard for our love ones to see us staring mindless at a computer running a 15 year old game.

I agree.

HB for example. 8k forum posts and having better relationships with random sociopaths online than with their own cute little newborn precious baby. Having a strong wife that is willing to take 200% of the workload while Daddy plays EQ for 16 hours a day helps though (temporary).

Giving up your fatherhood while arguing/crying about fairness in a 15 y/o game is pretty pathetic. =/

babies sleep for like 16 hrs a day or more, just sayen.

Velious will help. Just wait.

Didn't RD just make a post high fiving each other about getting a raid target the other day? System working as intended.

And can you stop pretending you want variance for the good of the server? The only guild that potentially benefits from variance is Red Dawn. You want it for the benefit of yourselves. Yet you will talk until you're blue in the face about how Nihilum is anti variance because they are selfish and don't care about the server.

Then in the next post you'll say how Nihilum has 80% of the active players on the server in it. So why would the devs enable something that is bad for the majority? Why would you advocate for a change that would piss off the vast majority of active players if you care about the server health?

Just call it what it is. Nihilum had a massive head start in acquiring gear in a game that is largely gear dependent in both PVE and PVP. You feel like the advantage is overwhelming and you are asking for the staff to step in and provide you a means to potentially get what you cannot get for yourself legitimately. If what you were saying was: "You tell us to contest but we lack the ability to do so, if you want a competitive raiding scene on this server you will have to help us out", at least then you'd be honest.

Zade said it best. You have the means at your disposal to get raid targets now. Either do it or admit that you can't and try to argue why that is bad for the server.

One of the better post I have seen recently.

Logical, honest and too the point.

I guess you consider yourselves one of the "them", as it's apparently us and them, kind of funny that Checkraise was tanking for Nihilum just months ago, and I was there here and there - server first Hoshkar kill etc.

There is no us and them, me and you, Nihilum and Red Dawn - you're making a black and white issue, when all we want is people to realistically compete, which no guild/crew has been able to do here since release.

Some people are just white knights, and some are dick suckers - you and Elderan both know your roles.

All I'm asking is for people to stop hiding behind the guise that what they are asking for is somehow for the betterment of mankind, as far as R99 goes.

You can do this by first dropping the guise that variance is good for everyone and say that is good for the only current Nihilum competition, RD.

Second, you can stop pretending this isn't a soft coded teams server. Do you honestly believe that enabling some sort of variance will allow pickup raids and stuff? The population can barely sustain two raid capable guilds. What tends to be good for one is bad for the other. I don't blame you for fighting for variance at all, I'd do the same thing in your position.

Lastly, can you go a single post without resulting in some sort of low brow insults? If you want to clean up this server why don't you start with your own forum posts. Many times a player is driven away before they even roll a character by spending 5 minutes on here.

No guise here, I'm doing this for the good of the box.

It may make the guys who have had everything since release prioritize targets and not get everything with time left over to shit on people trying to play here.
